Strength, Beauty, and Precision in Every Crown
Whether it’s repairing a damaged tooth or completing a smile makeover, our custom-made ceramic and porcelain crowns are designed to restore strength, balance, and brilliance — crafted with precision and made to last.
What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its original shape, strength, and appearance. Crowns are used to protect teeth after large fillings, fractures, or root canal treatments and can also serve as the visible part of a dental implant. At Floss & Gloss Dental, we use high-quality ceramic and porcelain materials that closely mimic natural enamel, offering both durability and an incredibly lifelike finish.
Crowns are not just a restorative necessity — they’re a cosmetic upgrade too. With advancements in technology, especially CEREC same-day crowns, patients no longer need to wait weeks for their restorations. Our in-office milling system allows us to design, fabricate, and place your custom crown in a single visit. The result? A strong, natural-looking tooth that’s ready to function beautifully the moment you leave our office.
Trusted by Leading Dental Organizations
We’re proud members of nationally recognized dental associations that uphold the highest standards of patient care and ethics. Our commitment to ongoing education ensures you receive modern, evidence-based treatment every time you visit.
Why Choose Ceramic or Porcelain Crowns?
Ceramic and porcelain crowns provide the perfect balance of strength and aesthetics. Unlike metal crowns, these materials reflect light just like natural teeth, ensuring your restoration blends seamlessly with your smile. They are biocompatible, stain-resistant, and ideal for patients with metal allergies or sensitivities.
At Floss & Gloss Dental, we use advanced imaging and shade-matching technology to ensure each crown looks and feels just right. Whether you need a full restoration or are upgrading older crowns, we customize every detail to ensure long-term comfort, precise bite alignment, and a flawless appearance. And with our same-day CEREC option, you can skip temporary crowns altogether — walking out with a complete restoration in just one appointment.
The Dental Crown Process
At Floss & Gloss Dental, we’ve refined the crown placement process to be efficient, comfortable, and precise — giving you lasting protection and a seamless smile.
Examination and Preparation
Your dentist examines the tooth, removes any decay or old filling material, and reshapes it slightly to ensure a snug fit for your new crown.
Digital Impressions and Design
We use advanced digital scanners to capture precise 3D images of your tooth — no messy molds required. The data is then used to design your custom crown right in our office.
Crown Fabrication (CEREC Technology)
For same-day CEREC crowns, your restoration is milled from a solid block of ceramic within minutes. Traditional porcelain crowns are sent to our trusted dental lab for crafting if you prefer lab-grade finishing.
Fitting and Bonding
Once the crown is ready, it’s carefully checked for perfect fit and color match. After any needed adjustments, the crown is permanently bonded in place, restoring both form and function instantly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Understanding crowns helps you feel confident about restoring your smile with precision and comfort.
How long do dental crowns last?
With proper care, dental crowns can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years — and often much longer. Avoiding habits like grinding teeth, chewing ice, or biting hard objects can significantly extend their lifespan. Regular dental checkups also ensure the supporting tooth and gums remain healthy.
What’s the difference between CEREC and traditional crowns?
CEREC crowns are designed, milled, and placed in a single visit using computer-aided technology, eliminating the need for temporary crowns. Traditional crowns typically require two visits, but they may offer additional material options and fine-tuned aesthetics crafted by a dental lab.
Are ceramic and porcelain crowns strong enough for back teeth?
Yes. Modern ceramics are incredibly durable and engineered to withstand strong biting forces. For molars or heavily used teeth, we often recommend reinforced ceramic materials that combine strength with natural appearance.
Will my crown look different from my natural teeth?
Not at all. Every crown is color-matched and shaped to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth. Porcelain and ceramic materials reflect light just like enamel, so your crown will be virtually indistinguishable from the rest of your smile.
How should I care for my dental crown?
Maintain daily brushing and flossing around your crown just like your natural teeth. Avoid overly sticky foods during the first 24 hours after placement. Routine cleanings at Floss & Gloss Dental will help ensure your crown stays healthy, stable, and beautiful for years to come.
